“I am one of those nervous dog moms. This was my first time using a sitter to care for my dog in their home. Sarah exceeded my expectations and now I use her regularly. She is kind, gentle, and professional. Her devotion to caring for animals is evident within minutes of meeting her. I don't worry when my dog is at Sarah's house. Now for my dog's review lol. She is excited to arrive, and is content (and tired) when I pick her up. There's a huge safe yard for her to play in, two little dogs to play with if she likes, and kids who treat her with respect (she also likes to snuggle with them). When I pick her up, I can be sure that she's been loved on and had fun.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes including my own Great Dane who is 6 years old. We also had a pit mix who passed away last year unexpectedly. I trained both of my dogs myself and I am comfortable around any breed! I have experience giving daily medication as well as walking multiple dogs at a time! I currently work from home so I am home all day and mostly on weekends unless I run an errand or two. We love taking early morning and late evening walks to avoid this summer heat! I have a fenced in yard with a doggie door to provide free access to being indoors or outdoors. I keep large bowls of ice water available at all times. I can also provide a fairly large crate if need be along with food bowls. Your dog must be child friendly or have shown no aggression towards people as I do have a 10 month old who is on the move but always monitored!
“Jessica was very kind and friendly.. She made sure our Sky was comfortable and she did a great job taking care of her for a couple days.. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.. Thanks a lot Jessica. From the Barrington's”
“Margarita took great care of Rufus all day while I was at work. He was fed breakfast and let outside several times to poke around in the yard and go potty. Margarita kept a close eye on Rufus as he was in a new environment in her house today. He was loved on and very happy at the end of the day! I highly recommend Margarita and will use her again!”

My yard is completely fenced in, with a doggy door to my living room where I have fresh water available. There are gates up to keep the pups out of the kitchen, and I have a 3 dog crates (2 XL, 1 Medium) I can use if your pup needs them. They will be supervised full time. I have probably a hundred dog toys as well. I have two dogs and one cat myself, my two dogs (A lab and cattle dog mix) are very friendly and playful and love meeting new friends. My cat has his own personal space in our home. I also have puppy shampoo, and deshedding shampoo incase of muddy pups!
“Jackie was amazing looking after my dog! She and her family treated my dog like he was part of the family! Jackie was very easy to work with, very professional, and it’s easy to tell she has a passion for animals! I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Sami loves his time with Skylore. When he sees me packing up his stuff he already knows where he is going. Sami is a velcro dog either everyone except Skylore after his play day he came home ate a little and passed out like a child at play would do. As long as Rover has Skylore I will keep using them for my fur baby.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Princeton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 275 sitters in Princeton, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
